Voxy, (“Voxy” or “we” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. We created this Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) to demonstrate our commitment to fair information practices and the protection of your privacy as you visit the www.voxy.com website (the “Site”) and use the services available on, through or in connection with the Site, including via mobile application (the “Services”). Your use of the Site and the Services is governed by this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use, which are expressly incorporated herein.
1. The Privacy Policy, Site & Services
This Privacy Policy is only applicable to the Site and the Services and not to any other websites or services that you may be able to access from the Site or through the Services, including but not limited to via an advertisement or content link, each of which may have data collection, storage and use practices and policies that differ materially from this Privacy Policy. Some of the Services are accessible without registering with us, but to actively engage with the Voxy, you must register as a member. If you use our Site or Services without registering, the only information we collect will be non-personal information through the use of “cookies” or “web beacons” (please see Section 2). If you choose to register with us, we require you to submit certain information personally identifying you, which may include your first and last name, e-mail address, mobile telephone number, and/or billing information, as applicable (collectively, “Personal Information”). You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the Personal Information you submit to Voxy. Inaccurate information will affect your use of the Site and Services and our ability to contact you as described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Non-Personal Information
Even if you do not register with Voxy, we collect information other than Personal Information (“Non-Personal Information”) about your use of our Site and Services.

Cookies are small computer files that are transferred to your hard drive and contain information such as your username, user preferences, the web pages you’ve visited and the activities you’ve performed while using the Site and Services. We do not link the information stored in cookies to any of your Personal Information.

Some of our business partners also use cookies to provide us with anonymous, aggregate data and information regarding our users. We do not have access or control over these cookies, and our Privacy Policy does not cover the use of third party cookies.
B. Web Beacons
We or our third party tracking utility company also use “web beacons” to collect anonymous information about your use of our Site, the websites of selected sponsors and advertisers, and our Services. Web beacons are tiny graphic image files embedded in a web page or email that provide a presence on the web page or email and send back to its home server information from the user’s browser. The information collected by web beacons allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using our Site and Services, selected sponsors' and advertisers' websites and using our Services and for what purposes. We do not link Non-Personal Information from web beacons to Personal Information.
